Type Specific Gemini-Rezzers

[CrabHelmet]

Why is it that people keep wanting clones of cards made for different Types? Il Blud' date=' Masked Dragon. At least Destiny Draw clones are somewhat excusable, since they are a fairly basic function (themed +0 draw) and tend to have some degree of theme variation (Respite is 3-for-3 and returns to the deck, Buster Teleport returns to the deck, Solar Exchange mills, Convert Contact requires you to have no monsters but also dump a card from your deck, Allure removes from play, Common Charity is a Trap and removes from play, Rare Value sends from the s/t zone instead of the hand, and so on), but why cards like Masked Dragon and Il Blud, where so much originality is available?[/i']

 

Because we borrow from a finite range of game functions, and Konami is goddam conservative in card design, so much so that 99% of all its themes either stink in principle or are practically undersupported?

 

True, but people could be a bit more creative with their suggestions. People ought to be capable of thinking of something other than a Level 6 Gemini monster whose effect allows it to Special Summon one monster of a specific type from the graveyard per turn but that destroys all such monsters when said Gemini monster is removed from the field. The game functions are limited, but they aren't *that* limited.

 

Sea Serpent' date=' Rock, Reptile, and, maybe Fish since they need the most support.

What about Aqua? The only support it has is Frog support.

[Tabris]

Some sympathy for Sea Serpents. All it has are fillers and the Daedali.

[Guest Star]

Thunder' date=' Aqua, Sea Serpent, Fish, Reptile, Pyro, etc. Or maybe not Rez monsters. Just support in general would be good.

 

Aqua, Fish, and Sea Serpent could all be rolled into one.

Fish?

 

There was a card released in PTDN called Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth. Maybe you should take a look at it.

 

Fairies could use a monster like Doom Shaman, Il Blud, and Gigaplant.

[Tabris]

... or some intensive Warrior-esque support into Fairies in general.

[CrabHelmet]

And Brionac.

 

By the way, do Sea Serpents have any support whatsoever that isn't a Field Spell?

[Tabris]

None that I know of.

 

They'll fare better if they call me. I have excellent Sea Serpent support tackling an obscure game mechanic.

What support/mechanic would that be?

[Tabris]

Brings Burial from the Different Dimension to mind.

 

'Bout time, too.

You're right. Because Superancient Deepsea King is more than enough support for Fish, and it quite obviously Summons from the Graveyard. How could I have forgotten?

 

I also like how you specifically targeted me for your comment.

[Tabris]

You're right. Because Superancient Deepsea King is more than enough support for Fish, and it quite obviously Summons from the Graveyard. How could I have forgotten?

 

And this justifies the need for another Il Blud clone?

I said they needed support in general. You never read my post, apparently?

[Skarlet]

come to think of it Machine would be intersting

[Azure]

I'd like a gemini summon card for the warriors.

[werewolfjedi]

I would like to see one for each type personally.

never going to happen though.

It's a good idea' date=' but people would abuse them a lot.

[/u]One for each type' date=' just to be fair.

Oh, goody. Let's make every Type exactly the same, thus defeating the purpose of having different Types in the first place.

 

Also, the problem is not that "people would abuse them a lot"; the problem is that the cards you are suggesting are ridiculously abusable for certain Types. You are trying to shift the blame to the people, when the problem lies in the cards themselves.

 

bringing stuff back from the grave is not a single type's thing alone, so there, your point is somewhat mute without another reason.

I have to ask, what deck uses doom shaman? none that I know of. I think the reason there might be the fact he does not have the power to summon a copy of itself from the grave. and that could be the answer to making them fair. they (konami) just made the other two rezzers the same type as the stuff it brings back, and that might be the mistake that makes them broken.

 

of course, that brings up the question, what type should they all/ each one be?

each one just makes it seem random, and them all being the same ether gives one type one final super rezzer, or get shafted and don't get one at all.

[Megaworm]

Winged Beasts seem to destroy spells and traps.

Pyro burns life points.

Dragons are beatsticks.

Fiends nuke the field, destroy crap and are evil in a card-game kindof way.

Fairys are supporting, life point increasing cards that make you feel weird for using them.

Fish die.

Reptiles take up space, take over monsters and special summon (thanks to the Aliens)

Machines rape the crap out of the game and relentlessly take it over (like on the movie Terminator)

Sea Serpents are field reliant monsters.

Rocks flip face up and have high defense.

Warriors do the garrison stuff and phalanx in a cardy-sort of way.

Aqua allows easy summoning and create crappy tokens.

Thunder destroys monsters (Raigeki, Zaborg, Rai-Oh)

Dinosaurs are beatsticks that beatstick beatsticks.

Plants get summoned and negate effects (sometimes).

 

in a crude, flawed way i kind of described the roles of most of the monster-types in the game. except Psychic, because they don't seemed to be bound to do one set of things.

[OrangePeel]

Psychics more or less seem to be about Syncro Summoning.

There's a difference between "bringing stuff back from the grave", which several things can reasonably do, "dedicating the entire theme to graveyard revival", which should not extend beyond a couple of themes to prevent themes from being too similar, and "bringing stuff back from the grave with a Level 6 Gemini Monster with between 2000 and 2500 ATK that, once Normal Summoned again to gain its effect, can Special Summon one monster from your graveyard of the appropriate Type per turn for free, but which may destroy all monsters Special Summoned by this effect when it is removed from the field", which is horribly specific and would serve no purpose other than to make Types very similar if distributed to a wide variety of themes.

Dark World and Yubel spring to mind.
